Bolton Council Leader, Cllr David Greenhalgh said: “Bolton Food & Drink Festival just gets bigger and better each year, generating huge crowds from across the UK and from abroad which helps raise the profile of the town.

“The Restaurant Award is a welcome addition to the festival and helps improve business standards in the catering sector and creates exciting new opportunities for local businesses to play a bigger part of the festival and share its success.”

The award is open to any place serving food in the borough, including café’s and licensed premises.
